" BATH-TU B ATTACH M ENT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 260,054, dated June 2'7, 1882.,

Application filed April 3, 1882.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FEI DRIOK SoHUtrTE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Bath-Tub Attachments, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to attachments for bathtubs; and it consists in an adjustable and movable wash-basin support, as will be hereinafter described, referring to the annexed drawings, in which Figure l is a top view of a bath-tub and my improvement. Fig. 2 is a side view of a bathtub with the improvement sprung up against the wall. Fig. 3 is a view of my improved wash-basin holder when made of wire. Fig. 4 is a view of my improved wash-basin holder when cast of iron or other metal.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

B represents the bath-tub; A, the wood framing.

1) represents the basin-holder, which may be made of stout. wire or cast in metal, as shown in Fig. 4. At one end is formed an eye for the pin a. (See Figs. 1 and 2.) At the opposite end from the eye is a loop or slot.

The method of attaching and using my im-.

(No model.)

provement is as follows: Two small eye-screws are screwed in the top of the bath-tub frame A. In these eye-screws is inserted the pin a. On the pin to is hinged the basin-holder D, which, when in use, is laid across the bathtub and frame, as shown in Fig. 1, and the wash-basin is placed in the circle 1).

If desired, a coiled wire spring may be placed on the pin a and made to act on the holder to raise it up against the wall when the weight of the basin is removed. Asmallstaple may be fastened in frame A and extend through and above the loop. A pin slipped through the staple will hold it down should the basin be removed.

Fig. 4 shows two small circles, F F, which may be used one fora soap-dish, the other to hold a glass or cup for water. p

I do not claim any form or design, as the same may be changed; but

As my invention I 'claim The combination of the wash-basin holder D with a bath-tub, as shown, described, and for the purpose specified.
